These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on November 4, 2016, commemorate:
* SIDONIE FREUDENBERGER-NEUBURGER (born 1879, deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, murdered September 7, 1943)
* KARL FREUDENBERGER (born. 1868, deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, murdered March 12, 1943)
* ERNA FREUDENBERGER-NUSSBAUM (born 1901, fled to England in 1939)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported, and murdered during World War II. One of them was able to escape.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
